The company believes that its employees need to both understand
and believe in the journey of the business and the personal role they
can each play in its success. This applies to all employees. There
are a range of careers at Virgin Media from apprenticeships out in
the field in areas such as installation and service to a variety of
graduate opportunities. Virgin Media’s apprenticeship programmes,
which consist of light work using screwdrivers rather than heavy
duty maintenance work, are attracting a growing number of females
into its technician roles year on year. As well as work experience
and traineeships there are a wide range of career opportunities in
the three main business areas:
• Serve which includes roles in customer support and service
technicians.
• Growth which includes sales and retail.
• Support which includes roles in finance and health and safety.
Balancing business needs with the needs of its employees is
achieved through the company’s commitment to creating a fun
environment for its employees whilst they develop their careers.
